The Long Weekend in pictures

Happy Easter! Chag Sameach! Or just happy long weekend! And, if you’re lucky enough to be in Las Vegas for the annual rockabilly festival, Viva Las Vegas! This long weekend has been just what the doctor ordered: time for rest, recuperation, and spending time with family.

What to Wear Wednesday #4

Summer is officially over here in the southern hemisphere now that it’s March so that means it’s time to start thinking about layering your wardrobe and dressing a little warmer. This week, I wanted to spend my imaginary pennies at British online shop Dorothy Perkins. With the change of seasons here for the cooler, it means that all the wintry beauties from the northern hemisphere are on clearance. And, an added bonus about Dorothy Perkins is that you can buy a whole outfit for a fairly decent sum of your hard-earned cash.

And we’ll never be lonely any more….

On 25 May 2014, my life became a whole lot sweeter: The Mister got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. He arranged a photo shoot with our friend who is an amateur photographer with Vinnie calling me a week before to arrange, telling me he was doing an assignment of couples for his photography club.

Tennis Fashions: then and now

Summer in Melbourne means two things in this household: beach in the evening on hot days, and the Australian Open. A bit of a self proclaimed sports fan, I pine all year long for the Australian Open. It’s the only live sporting event The Mister will attend. That’s right ladies and gents, I’m the sports fan, he’s not! Our annual pilgrimage to The Open began in the summer of 2011, when The Mister picked me up from work and surprised me with impromptu plans at the tennis. We saw Li Na – current women’s singles champ, who has now retired, and many others that night.

Brighton Beach Bathing Box Beauties

It’s been hot and humid in Melbourne this week. On Thursday, I took a friend to the Brighton Bathing Boxes. Though he was born in country Victoria, he spent most of his life in and around London and hadn’t ever seen the beauties that adorn a beach so close to my home. Though humid, it was the beginning of the cool change forecast for the long weekend.
